SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
Battery Test
Test the amount of charge left in batteries.
NOTE: This setting is for testing the
charge of small 9V or 1.5V batteries
only. Never use this setting to test
automotive or lead-acid batteries. The
high current could cause damage
to the meter and/or cause severe
personal injury. Use the appropriate
DC Voltage setting to test the open circuit
voltage of such batteries instead.
1. Turn the Range Selector Switch
to the Battery ( ) position.
2. Plug the black lead into the COM
Jack. Plug the red lead into the VΩmA
Jack. Switch the Multimeter ON.
3. Touch the red probe to the positive
terminal of the battery and the
black to the negative terminal.
4. The battery amperage through an
internal 360 ohm resistor will be
displayed to a resolution of .1mA.
5. Normal amperage: For a standard
9V (6LR61) battery the amperage
will be approximately 25 mA (9V
divided by 360 = 0.025). Weaker
batteries will have a lower current.
6. Normal amperage: For a 1.5 V
“AA” (LR6) battery the amperage
will be approximately 4.2 mA (1.5V
divided by 360 = 0.0042). Weaker
batteries will have a lower current.
7. When testing is complete, turn
Multimeter OFF, remove Test
Leads and store with Multimeter.
